Matthew 20:1-16:
In this parable, Jesus presents the kingdom of God in a powerfully counter cultural way. Last first, first last; a person who works part of the day is given a full day’s wage. It is completely out of line with human justice, yet absolutely in line with God’s justice and mercy.
You are fair and just. Your generosity is astounding. I pray that I do not see myself deserving more and others deserving less.
